the big question mark, what does harry reid do once the bill reaches the senate. with me white house senior adviser david plouffe. nice to see you. let me start with any -- let me start with this. the president's veto threat when it comes to the boehner plan specific to the boehner plan, is it clear that the president is going to -- he wants to veto any process that doesn't raise this debt ceiling past 2012, is that really the veto threat here that is the line in the sand for the white house? >> well, let me explain why that's important, chuck. what the house republican plan would do is have this whole debt ceiling spectacle, three-ring circus the president talked about monday, repeated again a few months from now over the holidays. you know, the debt ceiling debate would ruin christmas. it makes no sense. it's harming our economy now. you would have this hanging over the country at one of the most economically important periods of our country around the holiday season. that makes no sense. what we need to do over the next few days -- listen, the reid plan has twi

he is a big loser. but he was afraid he would be an even bigger loser. which is why they changed the bill. i think he felt that if last night he brought it to a vote and he lost, that the tea party types, a lot of other people in the republican party bo come after his speakership. look, this pizza legislation today and ed rendell is right, it is not going anywhere, you're absolutely right. in fact, john mccain said conditioning the debt limit increase on a balanced budget amendment is a fraud. this legislation odd todd isn't about saving the full faith and credit of the united states, it is about saving john boehner's speakership. >> the final vote, they are actually voting right now on this third plan now that would call for even more cuts that would call for a balanced budget to pass both houses and go to the states. didn't have to be ratified for the states before they raise the second limit but it would have to pass oath houses and they are voting right now live this is the main vote that expected to pass. after the speaker, who i'm calling now the w

big deal, half a loaf, mcconnell fall-back plan? are there the votes in the house of representatives to do it and that's part of what the president will have on the table when he breaks apart the congressional leaders. you know, we saw six meetings over the course of the last two weeks with the republicans and democrats assembled around the same table. they will separate them today. democrats first and republicans second. for democrats the president will need to know how much support do i have, especially when it comes to entitlement, reducing the cost of living adjustments in social security, raising the retirement age in medicare, and for republicans the question, how much support can i get from you guys to close tax loopholes, to end some subsidies, to end some tax breaks, what republicans have characterized, at least some, as raising taxes, and so far they have been dead set against that. >> let's bring in luke right now. boehner and cantor will be at the white house at 5:00 in about two hours. what do you expect from that? >> r

there are three different big deals out there. number one is what the president and speaker boehner and eric cantor are negotiating, which is, yes, a big deal that is separate from anything the gang of six in the senate is working on. and then of course there's mcconnell-reid. one thing that's going on in the last 24 to 48 hours, is any deal that's mcconnell-reid that includes this idea of sort of the disapproval vote, giving the president more power to raise the debt ceiling, that thing has grown to the point of almost being toxic with some house republicans. in fact, they hate it so much, they may prefer to negotiate with the president directly. but for the white house, getting the 217 means making a deal acceptable to at least some of those houses with 87 new members. the man who's made himself their standard bearer, majority leader eric cantor put it this way. >> one-third of the republican conference and one-quarter of the entire house of representatives are freshmen, they're new. many of them have never served in public offi
